Overused, missused and missunderstood these are just a few of the fonts that piss me off:

Apple Chancery- the poor man’s “fancy font.” It looks cheap.

Arial Narrow- the Helvetica knock off. Don’t waste time trying immitate the most perfect font (Helvetica, that is).

Comic Sans- the casual and “fun font.” This doesn’t even look good in comic strips.

Papyrus- sorely overused, it was the first of its kind that was organic and a little rough around the edges.

Zapfino- Completely misunderstood, this has been overused in just about every market. And it’s awkward to work with.

So what did them in? Well, mostly their availability through Microsoft and in turn the general public; and people who don’t understand that fonts have a time and a place.

Please, let these fonts rest in peace. You can do better!!
